Huperzine A combined with hyperbaric oxygen on the effect on cognitive function and serum hypoxia-inducible factor-1α Level in elderly patients with vascular dementia.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo explore the clinical effect of huperzine A combined with hyperbaric oxygen on cognitive function and serum hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) level in elderly patients with vascular dementia (VD).
methods120 elderly VD patients admitted to our hospital from February 2018 to March 2020 were selected and divided into two groups according to the treatment method (n = 60 each). They were administered for huperzine A and huperzine A combined with hyperbaric oxygen, respectively. The comparison of disease control rate (DCR), mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score, revised hasegawa's dementia scale (HDS-R) score and serum index were conducted.
resultsAt 2 and 4 weeks after treatment, the HDS-R and MMSE scores were reported to be higher in the observation group than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), anti-apoptotic factor (Livin), and HIF-1α showed a higher level of improvement as compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the DCR in the observation group was much higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
conclusionHuperzine A combined with hyperbaric oxygen is remarkably effective in the treatment of elderly VD patients. It can improve the serum HIF-1α level and speed up the recovery of cognitive function.
